“After serving 43 years in prison for a murder he did not commit, Subramanyam ‘Subu’ Vedam was finally free. New evidence had exonerated him earlier this month of the murder of his former roommate. But before he could reach his family’s arms, Mr Vedam was taken into custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who want to deport him to India — a country he has not lived in since he was a baby. Now, Mr Vedam’s legal team is fighting a deportation order and his family is determined to get him out of custody, for good. His family are now working to navigate a new and ‘very different’ situation, his sister Saraswathi Vedam told the BBC.” (10/18/25)
